Joe Montana

The Chiefs' loss to the Rams was Joe Montana's eighth against LA -- his most against any team. His worst records (regular season only): Team W-L Pct. Broncos 1-4 .200 Bears 3-3 .500 Rams 12-8 .600 Vikings 3-2 .600 Minimum of five starts

Octavias McKoy of Western Connecticut continued his incredible stretch of play by making national headlines Saturday as the Colonials defeated Worcester State, 55-35. McKoy set an NCAA single-game record with 455 rushing yards. The previous mark was 441 yards ( Dante Brown of Marietta in 1996). It took McKoy, of Stratford, 43 carries and he had five touchdowns for the third consecutive week. He leads the nation with 23 rushing touchdowns (19 in the last four games) and 138 points. McKoy is the brightest of bright spots for a program that last season was inching toward national recognition for a more dubious distinction.

NFL 1990 -- Joe Montana passes for career highs of 476 yards and six touchdowns and Jerry Rice ties an NFL record with five scoring receptions as the San Francisco 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons 45-35.

Football great Joe Montana and his wife, Jennifer , have listed their 500-acre wine country estate in Calistoga for $49 million. The northern California property includes a 9,700-square-foot Tuscan-inspired main house, an equestrian center, two year-round creeks, a pond, a regulation-size basketball court, a skeet shooting range, a caretaker's residence, a guesthouse, a swimming pool with a spa, a gym, a bocce ball court and a producing...

It seems strange to call Joe Montana, "Chiefs quarterback Joe Montana." Better get used to it, though, because that's what he is. And Montana has passed every test of the exhibition season -- arm strength, productivity and leadership, as well as enthusiasm. "He's excited about playing," Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson said. "He really feels like he was cheated out of the last two years. As he told me, `I'm not 36, I'm 34.' " Actually, Montana is 37 -- he was 36 when he was traded April 20. This will be his 15th season and his first with a team other than the 49ers.

No one hardly ever thinks of 49ers quarterback Steve Young without immediately thinking of Joe Montana. The comparisons may never stop. Not after Sunday. Against the Los Angeles Rams, Young was Montana, and the 49ers were his team. "I'm really growing into the team and feeling like that's my spot," Young said this week from the 49ers' practice facility in Santa Clara, Calif. The 49ers (4-1) play the Patriots (0-4) Sunday at 1 p.m. at Foxboro Stadium. The baton might have been officially passed from the injured Montana to Young, but Montana, who had surgery on his right elbow Oct. 9, 1991, has shown the ability to come back before.

AFC West Joe, Montana, the town, did not roll out the red carpet for Joe Montana, the quarterback. But Kansas City, Mo., did. Super Joe was welcomed with open arms by the Chiefs, who would like to believe Montana has enough left in his 37-year-old body to finally put them over the top. Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer also brought in offensive coordinator Paul Hackett to revamp the staid offense, which has been blamed for the Chiefs'...
